Silver tea set made by Forbes Silver Co. Tea pot,Creamer,Sugar bowl appear to be sterling silver and have the Forbes name/mark and "quadruple,168" stamped on the bottom of each piece. The large tray appears to be silver plating on copper and has three marks followed by "FP on Copper, 1863" stamped on the bottom. I'd like to know something about their age and the Forbes co.
Thank you.

You can go here for some basic info on the company: Search Silverplate Forum for Forbes

Your pieces are not sterling; 'quadruple' is another way of saying plated.
